Team Spirit at Walmart

[Jules]

Maybe this a regular event. Or maybe I’ve just haven’t been in the store when it happens. This was in the vegetable department. Anyone else seen this or do other businesses do similar.

”The Walmart cheer is a company tradition, often performed during morning meetings to boost morale and team spirit. It involves a call-and-response chant where employees spell out "WALMART," including a "squiggly" hip-wiggle movement. While some view it as a fun, energetic ritual, others may find it uncomfortable, and participation levels vary by store.”

If I worked there, I’d want it to be voluntary.

I have never heard of that before.
It should be voluntary.

Sorry but I'm finding this thread a bit confusing. What does an employees phone have to do with a team spirit cheer?

No, I am sorry,
I thought it said spell out text.
I am not seeing too well today. My bad.
I think I still have time to fix the post.

I would definitely find it uncomfortable.

Today is 4/20, perhaps they were all high? LOL

I worked at one little company that had us do a team building activity of designing a flag for the company. It was awfully silly but since they were having the activity at a hotel on a workday and feeding us really well, nobody complained!

Betcha can't watch it twice ...

Oh my, those poor people.
One advantage is that there are so many employees no one would know if you did not spell out WALMART.
I would be one of them!
WALLFART!
